This changer has seen little or no use for years, since almost every modern mtx is of the ZD flavor; it will be removed in 3.2

An mtx-based tape changer script. `changerdev' must specify the tape device controlled by the mtx program, and `tapedev' must point to the no-rewind tape device to be used. More than likely, both `changerdev' and `tapedev' will reference the same device file. `changerfile' must specify a prefix for status files maintained by this script. It will maintain files named `changerfile'/changer-clean and `changerfile'/changer-access. You may have to edit the script to specify which slot contains a cleaning tape (cleanslot).
The mtx program must support commands such as `-s', `-l' and `-u'.
If the one you've got requires `status', `load' and `unload', you should use chg-zd-mtx instead. Most modern operating systems need chg-zd-mtx.
